Movie Haiku:Fonda, a TV reporter, & Douglas, her cameraman, just happen to be touring a nuclear power plant when "something happens." Everyone around them is evasive, but Fonda smells her "big break." Lemmon is the reluctant insider whose conscience forces him to reveal the unthinkable -- to them & to himself.
